Episode 440: The Crew’s wondering if the Christmas Adventurers Club only eats fruitcake while watching Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. This widely acclaimed film has the most Oscar nominations of any film after Sinners (which has the most nominations of any film in the academy’s history). The actors shine, but the film’s length and tone do hold it back from greatness. The Crew discusses…

Episode 439: The Crew’s joined by guest, Nick Roth to discuss Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night (yes, the whole night). The film’s concept of all the problems that occurred 90 minutes before the first episode of Saturday Night Live is a great idea. And the cast is impressive and game. But the film is surprisingly low on humor. The Crew discusses…

Episode 438: The Crew’s covering their mirrors while watching Michael Chaves’ The Conjuring: Last Rites. The supposedly last Conjuring film has become the highest grossing entry of the series, more than doubling the gross of the previous top earner. And this finale may be the best written. All the characters have arcs and the Warrens are actually connected to the ghost story. The Crew discusses…

Episode 437: The Crew’s back in the habit while watching Michael Chaves’ The Nun II. This installment in The Conjuring series takes forever to get going and deliver the scares. Everything happens in the last 40 minutes, where we get cool goat demons, and a surprising back story for Sister Irene. The Crew discusses…

Episode 436: The Crew’s wondering if all waterbeds come with demons while watching Michael Chaves’ The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. This third installment (eighth if you count all the spinoffs) changes things up a bit. The haunted house vibe is gone and replaced with a police procedural. And maybe that diminishes the scares, but the tension is still here and the story feels fresh. The Crew discusses…

Episode 435: The Crew’s wondering when they’re gonna get a Ferryman spinoff film, while watching Gary Dauberman’s Annabelle Comes Home. This third Annabelle film has so many ghosts, demons, and cursed objects that the backstories and rules get confusing or not explained. But who cares, cause the scares are a plenty, and if one ghost doesn’t work for you, the next will. The Crew discusses…

Episode 434: The Crew’s confused on what counts as being part of “the Conjuring universe” while watching Michael Chaves’ The Curse of La Llorona. The Warrens are completely absent, but the Annabelle doll and the priest from the first Annabelle film are present… so it counts here. And the franchise should welcome this film, it’s a fast paced ghost/monster movie with some great acting. The Crew discusses…

Episode 433: The Crew’s hanging with nuns (out a window at the end of a noose) while watching Corin Hardy’s The Nun. This installment in The Conjuring franchise ditches the American haunted house in favor of a creepy gothic church. It’s a welcomed change that adds new visuals and characters. The Crew discusses…

Episode 432: The Crew’s giving demons permission to move into their dolls… for a second time, while watching David Sandberg’s Annabelle: Creation. This film is a prequel to a prequel that was a spinoff to the first Conjuring film. What could have been a soulless cash grab is invigorated by Sandberg’s fresh jump scares and energetic direction. The Crew discusses…

Episode 431: The Crew’s trying to figure out what the deal is with the Crooked Man (is it another demon, the same demon as the nun, a spirit, or an urban legend come to life) while watching James Wan’s The Conjuring 2. This is the second Warren film, and while none of the scares are as good as the clap game, the script and story are huge improvements over the first film. The Crew discusses…
